The eight symbols, explained

To match, then the answer key

Which sheet to print

The eight symbols, explained is the chart: each symbol drawn, with its name and what it stands for. Symbols to match puts the symbols down the left and what each one is down the right in another order, for a child to join with a line. With the answer key, the chart follows as a second page.

Where the facts come from

What the flag’s stripes, stars and colors stand for, the Great Seal and the bald eagle as the national emblem since 1782 come from USAGov’s page on the flag and other national symbols. The years Congress named the national anthem (1931), motto (1956), floral emblem (1986), tree (2004), mammal (2016) and bird (2024) come from the Congressional Research Service’s report on the national symbols. Both were read on 17 October 2026.
